In the Harivamsha Purana, this mountain was adorned by the people and possessed beautiful gardens. It was also adorned by the celestial maidens of the divine mountain (Sumeru). ||33||
The entire populace quickly descended from their respective vehicles and began to wander in the forests on the slopes of the mountain as they wished. ||34||
The cool southern breeze, free from the fatigue caused by the pollen of the spring flowers, was blowing, and the exertion of the people had been relieved. ||35||
The melodious cuckoos, intoxicated by the rasa (juice) of the mango creepers, were chirping on the mountain, unable to captivate the minds of the people. ||36||
The Kuruvaka and Vakula trees, adorned by the multitudes of honey-drinking bees, were enhancing the beauty of the region with the sounds of the bipeds (birds) and the hexapods (insects). ||37||
The intoxicated bees, abandoning their abode in the fragrant elephant-goad-like flowers, had taken shelter in the new clusters of the Saha-kara (mango) trees, where their great passion (for the flowers) arose. ||38||
The trees, bowing down excessively due to the weight of the flowers, appeared as if they were bending down due to the breaking of their love (for the flowers). The young women, shaking the clusters of flowers, experienced a delicate pleasure, like that of young men. ||39||
Somehow, the trees, with their own branches made accessible by the women, enjoyed the pleasure of grasping the flowers, like a lord (enjoying the pleasure) of being grasped by the hair. ||40||
